Quote: Hudd-Shay "Correct. I've been dissolusioned many times over the past few years with what I see as a lack of ambition from our club. For the first time ever I can accept that in the short term. With the situation we all find ourselves in the priority is to ensure the long term survival of the club and build from that. Some clubs will possibly not get through this and we as fans must back those who are working hard to make sure that Halifax RLFC not only survive but eventually thrive and get us back to where we all want to be. Up The Fax!'"
With nothing to compare the events of this year it’s been surreal and our attention has naturally been focussed on trying to adapt and on keeping safe.
With everything being in lock down and all the general uncertainty it was hard to see anything but a downhill path for the likes of Fax with so many ticks in the negative column.
Coming into this and next season we have a clubs income based on.
Finishing outside the top 5 last year.
Indifferent start to and early scrapping of this years league comp.
Early elimination from this years Challenge Cup.
Reduced central funding to name just a few of the challenges.
At worst I thought we could fold.
At best, middle to bottom table and relegation battle.
If we ever get back on the field it could still be but at least it’s not what the club are working towards.
What a massive effort from the club, it’s sponsors, supporters etc in view of all that’s been going on.
